what is the Best Corns

This is question Of very great i'm
portance to the whole country, not
oniy to farmers who grow corn, but to
the whole commercial interest which
depends SO largely upon this. the great
est product of the United States. In
the table printed elsewhere are given
lew of the results of the tests applied
10 large number of exhibits of twenty
pounds each, from different farms, To-
calties and States in tho corn belt.
Barely space could be spared for the
extended figures aud notes concerning
the prize taking lots among the Dent
Corns and half dozen other good spec
imens. 1t was only practicable for tho
Examination Committee to take into
account the points and circumstances
before them. Back OF these are sundry
o.her considerations that could not be
shown or examined in an exhibit of this
kind. such as the soit its preparation.

ture, distance OF rows, special effects of
unusual weather. drainage, tho yield
per acre OF grain and stover, nutritive
Or feeding value of the corn, etc. all OF
more or less influence and importance
in deciding upon the best corn for any
one locality, and for different localities.
The many notes and particulars we
have received from the growers OF the
corn will be interesting on several OF
these points, and we shall give from
Time 10 time, as space allows, some of
the more important of these particulars
that may throw further light upon the
subject. and be of important practical
nse to corn growers

A good fortune awaits man who
will devise some practicable plan for

ranges, so they will not be dsfgured

Use the SCOT from the stove-pipes ana
shimneys. II is excellent for flowers
aud young plants. Mix it with water,
about peck of SCOT to barrel of wat
sr and apply with a watering-pot
There is no reason why tho wire
fences of poultry yards and around tho
fields should not be used for grape
vines. Quite large amount of such
fruit could thus be economically grown,
and the fence would not be injured by
30 doing.
OF the varieties of ducks the Pekins
stand confinement best, but they are
not as tame as the common kinds
They grow very large often reaching
eight or nino pounds each, and WELD
feathers Of white color, and equal to
those of the goose.
Always turn eggs twice week il
they are TO be kept for future use
Eggs for Matching will keep two or
three weeks II turned half over daily
They should be in place of moderate
temperature. where they will not freeze
or be too warm
Millers all advise cutting wheat early,
AS it makes larger proportion of flour.
But early cutting may shorten the
weight. and so long as milers will pay
no more for early than late cut. farm
ers will go on calmly. getting all the
weight they can.
The cherry is one OF tho fruit trees
that can be recommended for shade In
pastures along roadsidcs, rs the hardy
varieties Of cherries are not affected by
the tramping of stock or passing of ve-
niclcs. which would prove injurious to
most other fruit trees
II will not do to feed either lnseed

and allow a small quantity oncc or

hen being sufficient. Cotionseed meal
contains a large proportion OF nitrogen
and so does the linseed meal, but the
latter is richer in fat elements, II Is
excellent for regulating the bowels aud

reason. The cottonseed meal is not so
laxative and therefore serves best when
given in connection with the linseed
meal

Like tie Swiss, the Kabyles have an
intense love of their country They

the sound of war. The young men of
the different tribes enter into a solemn
''league and covenant, ~ which might be
called the league of death, since all who

So complete is this offering up of their
lives, that the prayers for the dead are

where they may give up their lives If,
indeed they annihilate the enemy, they
may return anil lice. But if the foe is

until they find it. If one were to flee in
the day of battle and return TO his tribe,
he would be received as the Athenians

One article of subsistence sometimes
employed by the Indians is only resorted
to when they are driven to great straits
by hunger. Around many OF the water
ing-places in the pine-forests of Oregon
and California the trees of Pinus pom.
derosa may be seen stripped of theiI
bark for a space of three or four feet near
the base of the trunk. This has been
accomplished by cutting with hatchet
line around the tree as high as one
could conveniently reach, and another
lower down, so that the bark, severed
above and below, could be removed
in strips. At certain seasons of
the year mucilaginous film (the libur-
NUM- separates the bark from the wood
of the trunk. Part of this film adheres
to each surface and may be scraped off.
The resulting mixture of mucilage- cells
and half-formed wood is nutritious and
not unpalatable, so that, as a last resort,
it may be used as a defense against star
walton. The frequency with which signs
OF its having been resorted to are met
with is a striking indication of the un-
certaInties and Irregularities of the sup

A Wonderful Marching Feat.

Looking through history, writes Lieu
tenant Hamilton in the New York Post,
we find that though in all other particu-
lars the art of war has made wonderful
strides, yet in the actual distances ac-
complished in marches on foot the an
clients were fully equal to modern sol
diers. In fact, the most wonderful feat
ever recorded in marching was accom-.
plished by the ancients. In the second
Punic war Hannibal lay waiting at Canu.
